How should my redirector settings be configured on blacberry desktop if I am on a bes.

I recently reinstalled the desktop software (to upgrade) and although I selected BES and not redicrector when instaling, there is a redirector icon in the panel. Does this control the BES settings given that I am using a bes, or do I need to somehow deactivate this? I can't seem to find a setting that would indicate that I am not using redicrector and want it deactivated.
